This is a 243 win ways game, where Elephants and Tigers are the highest valued symbols at the paytable, but the ones you really want to catch more often are summoned at 1 bronze icon of gathered animals, labelled Scatter. Landing a minimum of 3 such icons will secure 15 Free Spins with a winning factor x3.
But before you get to that point, you have the chance to utilize another essential feature of the slot – the Re-spin function, or the so-called Hyperspins system, providing the chance to spin any of the reels individually (in the base game only) as often as desired. Bound with a reel tariff, of course. The maximum win announced by the developer for this Medium Volatility slot is 60 000 CAD in the Free Spins (calculated as 480x the total bet via max stake of 125 CAD).

Personal testers’ opinion about Wild Orient slot
Opposite of the wild fauna presented on the reels – unique and earthly rare, the graphics and design are average and mediocre. The Wild Orient slot comes with a large betting range (between 25 cents and 125 CAD) with the not super poor nor super-profitable paytable. Wilds don’t pay, nor do they double any wins. Scatters pay 100x the total bet for 5OAK and 1x the total bet for 2OAK. The rest of the symbols provide payouts between 160x the total bet (for the Elephant) and 4x the total bet (for the 9-card), all for 5OAK on adjacent reels.
You are offered the modern Hyperspins option on each main spin, but please don’t get dragged down with them. They are costly, and in 9 out of 10 tries, they deliver less than what you spent on them. So, don’t be fooled – in 9 of 10 Hyperspins you exercise, the winner will be the casino (and the related provider) and not you! So, there are pros and cons of these re-spins to be considered.
- PRO: faster gathering the Scatters, i.e. accelerating way to the Free Spins. Also, an opportunity to self-building better-paid formations (4 and 5OAK). Moreover, letting you think you are in charge of your next spin – to re-spin on your own terms – on a hunch.
- CON: you can get mugged because of your sixth sense. It is pricy, and it could turn out that your spin became much more expensive than the payout anticipated. So be watchful with the Re-spin action!
The hit probability is high (at near 37%), and the RTP is also very promising (reaching up to 97.50%). Yet, our test team couldn’t score anything above 100x the total bet. As we restrained ourselves from using the re-spins in the name of the honest statistic, admittedly, we had to wait for the bonus round enormously long (sometimes over 500 bonus-less spins).
In a closing summary: we believe this is one mediocre game qua theme and design with super low winning potential. Regardless, we recommend it to bonus hunters – if they only play with minimum stakes and do not use the special re-spins.
We recommend it to advanced players when starting with reasonably rich starting capital (sufficient for around 200+ bets). They can test (possibly win), employing those Hyperspins at the right moment. Then, via smart/precise use, they can obtain not massive but realistically speaking modest (150x-250x total bets) prizes and run away from these reels immediately afterward.
The Wild Orient is a reskin of the Dragon Dance slot and Bikini Party slot, both of which Microgaming released in 2016. In 2020 the developer came up with the Lucky Riches slot machine – also part of the same line of reskins.
You can classify us as disparaging: repeating the same disapproval recurrently (when Microgaming gives us a reason, of course), but we are committed to exposing any double-dealing practices and inaccurate information to the players, so here again, we will voice our acrimony about such work methods – cloning/reskinning/mirroring video slots.
Didn’t Microgaming run a large ship that doesn’t need such disgraceful retrenches? Their bypasses have become so routine nowadays. They seem to think they outsmarted us all – the gambling affiliates and enthusiasts, yearning for brand new themes, features, games and pristine concepts.

Bonus Features
- Wild (Game Logo)
Non-paying symbols can appear exclusively on reels 2 and 4, replacing all other symbols besides Scatters. - Hyperspins
Not pleased with the dropped symbols in your current spin? Presuming in the next spin will be dropped exactly the icon you need? Then roll again any reel you need (independently) to push a win. It is not gratis; of course, check the price of the exact reel spin is under the grid. The higher the odds of a win, the higher the price. Plus changing the bet – amends the chances. - Free Spins
Landing 3+ Scatters (paid generously) will always launch 15 Free Spins, where all wins are triplicated. They can be re-triggered (theoretically endlessly), but we have never heard of more than 1 re-trigger. Thus, in the FS, the maximum win capacity of the game can be achieved due to the trebling amounts.
